Otrio is a 2 – 4 player strategy game. So players can go head-to-head to head-to-head. The rules are simple but the game is complex.

Depending on the wit of your opponent, players may need to sharpen your strategic skills and exercise critical thinking.

Santorini is another strategy-based board game that’s exhilarating and intellectually challenging. The game requires tactical maneuvering and is great for kids and adults alike.
